FW: [mythtv-users] D.vine case

[Eric Aversa]

I realized that the D.Vine4 supports a full ATX power supply, so I am
going to try that. I was concerned that running a full ATX motherboard,
Athlon 1600, two cards, 1 HD etc would be too close to the limits of a
200W power supply, especially as there is no documentation on the
capacity of the various rails on line.

What do you have in your case (i.e. what load have you found that the
PSU can carry?)

I ordered the Silenx 350W ATX power supply. You found that Silenx was
not very quiet? Would you compare it disfavorably to other power
supplies marketed as quiet such as the Zalman, Fortron, and Thermaltake?

Thanks very much for your reply!

I bought the SilenX Micro ATX P4 200W Power Supply that Ahanix built for

the case. It is far from silent. I'm going to modify it a little bit and

I'm hoping that will help with the noise.

In general the case is one of the best I've ever seen. The construction 
is just superb. The only thing I dislike is that there is only one place

to mount a hard drive. If you look at http://www.ahanix.com/page1.html 
you'll notice what I'm talking about.  I believe ahanix wants you to 
purchase their external drive bays but I don't think they're very 
attractive.

If you have any other questions, let me know.
